Harish 2nd Feb, 2020

Information about the exam:


There are three exams each of 2 hours.

All the three exams are conducted on the same day.

You have to prepare three subjects i.e. English, General Knowledge and Mathematics.

There are 120 questions of English, 120 questions of G.K. and 100 questions of Mathematics.

If your service choice is OTA then you don’t have to give the Mathematics exams.

Books for the exam:


English


vocabulary- Norman Lewis

English Grammar- S.P. Bakshi

General Knowledge


Lucent

General Studies Manual by Arihant Publications.

Current Affairs from Internet.

Mathematics


1.Quantum CAT by sarvesh kumar verma


The Strategy during the exam:


English is the most scoring subject. Avoid all the error finding questions because they are biggest contributor to negative marking.

English exam is easy in comparison to GK and Mathematics.


For IMA you need around 120 marks.

hlo sir...sir i belong to EVS category ..my cds 2020 marks are around 75....will i clear the cutofff

Sharon Rose Student Expert 2nd Feb, 2020

hello,

In defence examinations reservations are not considered.The official cut off is not yet out but the expected cut off is as follows for each academy

  • AFA:132-135
  • IMA:114-116
  • INA:103-105
  • OTA(men):84-86
  • OTA(women); 83-83

So there are less chances to qualify.However, cut off is subjected to change it may increase or decrease slightly.

can a non university student applicable for cds exam

Shubhangi sinha 2nd Feb, 2020

Hello Chandan,

You can apply for CDS if you have completed your graduation.

The university from which you hold a degree must be a recognised University then you are eligible to appear for CDS.

If your university is a UGC-recognised one, then you are definitely eligible for the CDS exam.

Good luck,

Hope it helps :)

I have spectacles (-2.5) for both eyes.. which exams am i eligible to apply for ?

Inayath 1st Feb, 2020

Hi Karuna,

Although you have Spectacles, but that will never affect your eligibility towards any exams. So no need to panic about anything and -2.5 is just a mere number, because I too have same problem of Myopia. You can apply any exams you want. Feel free and don't worry.

Thank you. All the best.
